An Integrated Psychiatric Approach:

Journey to Wellness is a Bismarck, ND based Integrative Psychiatric Private Practice led by me, Jackie Materi, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health care while offering personalized treatment plans including medication and lifestyle adjustment recommendations, counseling, genetic and lab testing, integrative services (vitamins/supplements), ketamine infusion therapy, and Exmoind TMS. I work with ages 16 to adults in the clinic or via telemedicine and specialize in anxiety, depressive disorders, PTSD/trauma, and chronic pain conditions.

Additionally, I have a special expertise in acute stress, issues relating to loss of health, women’s health and relationship issues including narcissistic abuse syndrome. I will listen to you, help you get to the root of the problem, offer medications and/or supplements as an option (but not the only option) while providing Christian approach to mental healthcare.

Treatments

Medications

We will educate you on safe medication use, possible side effects, and it will always be your decision whether to move forward or not. Once a decision is made, medication is prescribed on a trial basis to monitor its efficacy and how you tolerate it. We will discuss your short term and long term goals and use this information to suggest other supportive methods with or without combining these methods with the use of medications.

Integrative Medicine

Prescription medications do not have to be the only option. I can offer a combination of therapies and lifestyle changes to help individualize treatment for you and facilitate the body's innate healing response. I can work with you to utilize nutritional supplementation and plant-based medicines to help you feel better. I will offer you education on nutrition, exercise and mindfulness with the goal of improving your mental health.

FAQ

Do you accept insurance payment?

*New as of 2024* YES! We do bill selected insurance plans. Please contact us for the latest current in-network carriers we bill directly. Also, clients are able to utilize FSA or HSA cards for a form of payment. I am happy to provide an itemized receipt (super-bill) for clients to submit directly to their insurance plan if they should desire. This would allow you to get some reimbursement from your insurance company if you have out-of network benefits.

What are the benefits of working with someone who doesn’t accept insurance?

I desire to spend quality time with my clients, building long-term therapeutic relationships to assist them on their journey. My hope is for my clients to reach their wellness goals, not to merely prescribe a medication. Due to many factors outside of our control, ketamine infusions themselves are not covered by insurance. However, the out of pocket cost for infusions may be reduced if we are in network with your insurance company. Please contact us directly regarding this option.

Do you offer a sliding scale?

No, we do not offer sliding scales for payment. Full payment is due on the day of service and is payable via credit card, check or cash.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes, We have successfully worked with Advanced Care Card. They can offer interest free financing for up to 14 months. Visit their website for more information.

How are you different from other mental health prescribers?

Being that I am both a PMHNP and CRNA I specialize in mental health and anesthetics such as ketamine. It is rare to find a psychiatric mental healthcare provider to be able to incorporate prescription medications, ketamine infusions, herbal and plant-based medicine, lifestyle changes, talk therapy, coaching, specialized lab testing, christian principles and mind-body medicine into an individualized treatment plan.
